thinking big
10 weeks of attachment have gone..10 weeks to go. By now, i guess i have a pretty good view on life as a clinical lab technologist. I can see myself as a technologist. But i'm not sure if i want to be that in the long run. It took me 2 and a half yrs of poly and attachment to realise that science is really not my niche and it's not something i am keen to upgrade myself in. Sad, but true. I just am not interested to go for further studies in this scope. I can't stand even thinking of studying advanced subjects of what i've learnt in poly. The subjects are too theory-based. memorising work and me don't mix. Of course sometimes you don't really have to memorise. You just have to understand concepts. But concepts have to be stored in the brain too, correct? Unfortunately, my brain have limited space. But still, i'm not ruling out the possibility of continuing my studies in this scope. Sometimes you may have to do what you have to do. Sometimes what you need to do, overpower what you want to do.
So, what exactly i want to do? I am considering taking up an early childhood education course to teach in kindergarten. I've been wanting to teach kids since secondary 2, when we had this community service thing in the nearby kindergarten. I just love being around kids. sometimes i have more things to talk about with kids than with some adults or people my age. Just minutes ago i was chatting with my cousin, Kak Wai, who is a kindergarten teacher. She was saying that if i take a course to teach kinder and then a degree in child psychology, i could become principal or supervisor of the kinder centre. So theres still hope of upgrading myself if i were to go into that line.
I know many would think that it'll be a waste of time and money for me to have taken diploma in biomedical science but not commit myself to that. I feel the same way myself. I'll still be looking for jobs in clinical lab come early next year after graduation. I intend to work as a teachnologist for a few years and maybe take up a part time early childhood education course at the same time. It's still a pretty raw plan. You can't trust everything Syafiqah says as she likes to change her mind =) I remember wanting to take the early childhood education diploma in NP but chose biomed instead. I acted on instinct. But no regrets whatsoever. everything happen for a reason right? Maybe i'll bump into my future hubby by taking this route? Who knows, right? ;)
